Spotlight on Volvo FH16

We still haven't managed to conclude licensing negotiations with some of the truck brand owners, but we are going to renew our effort again next week. We are now preparing materials to show to the truck companies - arguments to support the notion that they can only win extra PR points if they are officially present in Euro Truck Simulator 2. One of the brands that we still haven't secured is Volvo Trucks, keep your fingers crossed!

This is strictly work-in-progress presentation of an unfinished game. The all-new physics in ETS2 is still not finalized and in fact at the moment quite broken, so don't judge the truck driving behavior just yet - we still have a lot of work to do ahead of us to wrap up the work on the game.

PLEASE remove those markers indicates place to repair. Make door like in depots when player must drive in WITHOUT trailer which first he must park in safe place. After repair player must back off from that door. Also remove indicators for from parkings with those ZZZ. Make parking places as sleep places not only 1 place marked with zzz. In gas stations also make 2-3 places for player to tank not only one. Make other cars to tank gas then player must chose other tanking spot to even wait a while to others finish tanking. I think all that will be intuitive for players even those new ones. They will know where to park/stop ect. and drive in repair depots. Make about 3,4 doors for repair depots so player will chose which one to drive in. Also sometimes other cars/trucks will use repair depots so player will chose empty door. Please remove thos indicators. They spoil game :(

I agree with anonymous said..."MAKE THE GEARBOX SLOWER REMEMBER IS NOT A CAR"

Good job SCS! Nice video! I know that most are tired of waiting but I will eventually see something really nice ... If someone from the community can help the company because they do not ask; We know it's a small group trying to do something great, anything we want;

I think most of the people just takes a look at the video -,-..

SCS - Good work people .. hope you get all of the trucks rights! .. Good Luck ! :)

can't you people read - this video isn't to show the physics of driving but the looks of the game and Volvo truck in order to convince Volvo to license their trademark into the game..jesus some people are really extremebly dumb! next time read it five times until you understand!

This is quality work, we'll keep our fingers crossed! Actually, seeing every new post makes me believe it's worth waiting for the release of the game! And please, don't forget to add Romania on the map! :)

"The all-new physics in ETS2 is still not finalized and in fact at the moment quite broken.."

I totally understand that, but this is terrible!!

And I totally agree with these:- MAKE THE GEARBOX SLOWER REMEMBER IS NOT A CAR!! - the interior camera zoom out please, it's too near to the windshield

In this state, the gameplay is a big zero!

Where is the men (Irenej "Jirka" Stalmach), who help with you and keep an eye on your projects and assist you in fixing the most glaring sins against trucker lore in your games. (http://blog.scssoft.com/2011/10/know-how-boost.html)

Wow, this is pretty amazing. I love the way the truck looks early in the video when it is going fast, and the physics and cab suspension are decent,I can't wait until they're finished. Also, the apperance of the truck is exceptional, far better on the inside and outside than GTS or UKTS. If Volvo doesn't approve of your truck, then they are making a bad decison. So, I hope they do it, because I love Volvo trucks. Great work guys!

@Nicklas Very Good Ideea! This is what I am talking about, making game more interesting, more practic, not just take trailer go, leave trailer, We need a purpose, a goal, we need to take a trailer with pipes, go to a working site and leave there the trailer with pipes (is like a mission, it is a goal, it is a purpose). In this way we, the players, have the feeling we do something else, not just driving for making money for a better truck. Good point Nicklas! Keep it up with good ideeas!

@Gabor Bartal Again totally I agree with you. If SCS wants a contract signed with Volvo they should use at least in this presentation a steering wheel not the keyboard! By the way which steering wheel I should buy for this game? Not an expensive one, just a good one...

Awesome! Now I know why the delay to send another post. But I have a doubt in Euro Truck Simulator 2, will not have people moving on the sidewalks of the city, would be so cool if he would give a more realistic touch. And good luck there in the negotiations with Volvo Trucks. Good weekend for the team there SCS Software, and to the next.

I agree with Raimond you must improve the gameplay this is the important thing, without good gameplay and maybe a scenario the game will be Boring. and also You can put some conditions about the trailer ( % of damage ETC... ) that we transport for some company and of course these conditions will be more hard and strict when we get new levels. thanks SCS

Few Things to add:• More AI Traffic, we don't want empty roads.• Zooming in/out function.• Waiting for trailer.• Waiting for ferry.• Making your own company: Make Logo/Name etc.• No people walking, that would make game crap.• Weathers like Snow/Rain/Storm and other.

SCS You made good AI Traffic, but it needs improvement on motorways. People are complaining about zooming out cabin camera and I know you are going to make it and I hope you will add some of the ideas above.

scs is that this is not final physics is more going to be better than T & T now when it comes to changes in the truck have to remember that these high and low assertiveness therefore a key to select the changes and another to select high and low intermediate and likewise by

I feel what lacks is business management, your doing great work with the world and truck designs, but owning a truck company should be just that. Hire drivers (maybe interview them), buy licensing from a truck company in-game to use only there trucks. also bid and buy contracts for company loads. To me its business management that has really suffered within these games.

The cities need to pedestrians. If T & T was successful, ETS2 was also in vain. It would be a big change compared to the previous sections and would not be so early in the game boring, because it would be more realistic, and this is the key to success is sure.

My interest for this game is starting to fade away, it just takes to long for the release. It's not your fault, but there you have it. I've a feeling that if I' should check in on this blog in mars - The word would be that the release is set to autumn 2012.

But, best of luck with the finishing of the game and i really hope that I'm wrong.

Pedestrians Disadvantages:1.Not look so good!2.Shouldn't be needed it's not bus simulator.3.They will only walk in town which is crap.4.Lags if too many of them.5.Stupid looking game because when you get out of town it will look empty.

Don't add them!! Pedestrians will ruin this super game.Copy and Paste this so scs can see!

I do not mind, whatever you do in the game, because I have full GTS graphics running, and not small (1680x1050) resolution. Many people ask for pedestrians, but that does not mean to be full to be placed in the cities, only 1-2 people walk the same street.

I love how the game looks and am looking forward to it, I know you guys have a ton on your plate, but I want to say one thing, you have two of Europe's most popular truck builders from a country that isn't modeled, I know it won't likely happen in ETS 2 but it would go a long way to impress the people at Scania and Volvo if you modeled Sweden.

i want to know only one simple think: THE RELEASE DATE! You must release it soon as possible, ´cause you need money and We need the game and will pay for it. Good bussines. Bugs you can fix with patches - as always.

"AfterFearProd"You idiot! The release day isn't 27 march. You idiot. Have you not learned to read? THERE IS NO RELEASE DATE YET! THE RELEASE DATE WILL BE WHEN SCS SOFTWARE SAYS SO, SOMETHING THEY HAVENT. SO THERE IS NO REAl RELEASE DATE. SO SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU NOOB

LOL idiot!CD-Project have already determined release date in Poland for 23rd March, in Europe probably 27th idiot. AfterFearProd is right and your just some stupid kid who don't know anything about release so shut the fuck up!

anonymous.HAHAHAHHAHAHA! I think youre the supid small childish noob here. WHEN THE FUCK HAVE SCS SOFTWARE OFFICALLY ANNOUNCED THE RELEASE DATE? YOU FUCKING NOOB! YOU're NOT SMART ENOUGH TO SEE THAT ALL THE RELEASE DATES IS BULLSHIT AND ONLY WHEN SCS SAYS IT WILL BE RELEASED IT WILL BE RELEASED YOU FUCKING IDIOT

Remember Guys certain companies don't want exact physics of their trucks as people will go out and cause mayhem with them. This is a global game so whatever SCS achieve will be a simulated version of the real thing. The gearbox yes can be a little less fast as it takes ages to climb gears but think of the CPU, all that processing is enough of what's being displayed already.

Be patient, simulation is a virtual version of real life, take into account that driving a real truck requires an official license, but a taste of this is that they have to prove to companies that their trucks physics are kept secret.

I have some good ideas which will do the game better1.Lights will have colors for example xenon lights.2.All the mercedes benz fans want the new cab.3.Everybody want to make his own trailer so I have four nice ideas first you can make the axles of the trailers 1,2 or 3 axles, second the wheels, third the lights and fourth the name.

Can't you understand that the date is from eurotrucksimulator2.pl?Let me explain it to you, you stupid knut cocker.Eurotrucksimulator2.pl is an official blog that have confirmed CD-Project's release which is 23rd in Poland. You can't believe or you think that I just gone on random blog and see release date? NO I don't look on random blogs for release date. So as far as your small shitty brain will read this post, then you might understand that ETS2 release is 23rd.

HAHAHHAHA! Im laughing my ass of !!!!!!!! i think i can a thousand times more english than you east european pricks who think you are something. We all laugh at you guys when you come in cheap 2 axle trucks in norway and drive out of the road. but we're not here to discuss that.OK, listen kids.EURO TRUCK SIMULATOR 2, has had several "release dates" , first in January, then in February, and now the end of March. What makes your small brain to think it will be released at excactly the date, 27 of March. What i think is way better, is that you keep your mouth shut, and don't let it come more bullshit out of it, im tired of it. AND FOR THE FUCKING LAST! THE RELEASE DATE IS ONLY SPECULATIONS FROM THE PUBLISHER, NOT SCS SOFTWARE SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND BE PATIENT YOU EAST EUROPEAN PRICK!

Are you people for real who gives a fuck why truck they drive! It's a blog to so you updates on the game be grateful your even getting that!! I wouldn't be surprised if there next project they don't do us anything because everyone going At each other. Another good reason why there won't be a multiplayer!! But on the other hand there was one good comment on there out of the crap you put! About the release, If you go on amazon.de you will see the game in its case with a cover and a release date but that don't mean fuck all this inst confirmed by scs these are the people that will say when it's ready! So just wait for the correct information from SCS SOFTWARE then you can bang on about it, but back to the topic: scs you are doing an amazing job can't wait for the next update :D
